A place which over 5000 monks and nuns call home, Namdroling Monastery is an important spiritual centre of Nyingma Tibetan Buddhism. It has humble beginnings as the founder Pema Norbu Rinpoche started to build it when he had only Rs 300 to his name.
It was first made out of bamboos, but now has great big premises, colourful architecture, peaceful ambience and a heavy footfall of tourists.
